Kawhi Leonard has consistently been one of the more bizarre figures in the NBA. While bizarre might be a strong word, we could definitely call him "enigmatic" and absolutely no one would bat an eye. Leonard has been showing flashes of his personality over the past year or so and fans are starting to become endeared to his robotic antics. At times, Leonard can be seen doing things that we simply don't expect from the average person. This typically leads to some hilarious memes and quite honestly, we enjoy them very much.
According to TMZ, Leonard was back to his old bag of tricks this past week as he was vacationing in Cabo for the All-Star break. As you can see inside of the tweet below, Leonard was wearing a New Balance jersey with his own name on the back. In fact, the jersey also says "Don't Be Mad" on the front.
Ever since signing to New Balance, the brand has been having Leonard work overtime and he's been delivering in every way possible. Leonard is constantly wearing his own New Balance shirts and shoes and the relationship seems to be prospering.
With this latest stunt in mind, it will be interesting to see what else Leonard has in store for New Balance in the future.
Kawhi’s New Balance OMN1S Receives "No Emotions" Makeover For All Star Weekend
Don't Be Mad x New Balance announce All Star sneaker pack.
New Balance and Chicago-native Joe “Freshgoods” Robinson have teamed up for a collaborative Don't Be Mad "No Emotions Are Emotions" sneaker pack set to drop during the NBA's All-Star Weekend. The Don't Be Mad x New Balance collection consists of a pink-based colorway of Kawhi Leonard's New Balance OMN1S, as well as a 992 silhouette and a matching range of apparel.
Leonard first debuted the collab in a game against Minnesota earlier this month, revealing a gradient design on the OMN1S upper highlighted by an all-over print featuring stoic faces. The strap that stretches across the tongue also reads, "No Emotions Are Emotions."
“No Emotions are emotions is my game face. It’s for people in the world that don’t speak loudly about what they are going to do, they just do it,” said Robinson. “This is my way of connecting Kawhi’s personality to the collection and to my personal brand during All-Star weekend.”
The New Balance x Don't Be Mad "No Emotions Are Emotions" collection, including both kicks and a matching range of apparel, will be sold exclusively at a pop-up shop in Chicago during the All-Star weekend from February 14th to the 16th. Check out the official images below.
